Quaker Testimony.

Mrs. A. NJ. Dauphin, Philadelphia, has
done great deal to make known to ladies
there the great value of Mrs. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, as cure for their
troubles and diseases. She writes as fol.
lows: "a young lady of this city while
bathing some years ago was thrown vio.
lently against the life line and the in jusies
received resulted In an ovarian tumor which
grew and enlarged until death sen,eei certain.
Her physician finally advised her to try
Mrs. Pinkham's Compound. She did $50
and In short time the tunor was dissolved
and she is nor IA perfect heu'h. also know
of many cases where the medicine has been
of great value in preventing miscarriage
and alleviating the pains and dangers OF
childbirth. Philadelphia ladies appreciate
the worth Of this medicine and its great
value"

The Gold-BrIck swintile.

NEW York, April 21.-An evening
paper prints the following: sWhat bids
fair to develop into big gold brick swindle
came to light to-day Mt the United States
Assay office. Yesterday well Unknown and
wealthy gentleman of this city deposited
four large bars, supposed to be gold, with
the assaser to be refined and made into
standard gold bars. The gentleman said
the bars were from California and were es-
timated to be worth about $4,000 each, or
$4,000 for the four, and that an assay
which he had made before showed the bars
to be about T2 per cent. fine.
The bars were received and receiptcd for
In the usual form, and the gentleman de-
parted in full confidence that he had SAC, 900
in gold in the hands of Uncle Sam. The
suspicion of Mr.. Graham, receiver of the
deposits, was excited by the light weight of
the bars, their specific gravity being only
about 95, whereas the specific gravity of
gold is 1913. Samples were taken from the
four bars and assayed, when it was found
that the bars were OF copper, with a thin
wash of gold on the outside; in short, four
bars turned out to be worth about 81 in
stead of $4,000. UP TO noon to-day the
gentleman had not called to ascertain the
result of the assay. 1t is evident that q
fraud has been perpetrated on him, and
that he is numbered among the victims of
the gold-brick trick.

Tha Gas r. medY.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 19.-The
new treatment for consumption is being
tried in this city. Mr.. Richard Jay, a mailer,
came here from Pittsburg some months ago,
a shadow of his former self and apparently
fast going into the last stages of what is
known as 'nailers' consumption. About
a week ago DR., w. II. Roberts, at Mr.. jays
request, began the new treatment. Up to
week ago Mr.. Jay had been losing flesh at
the rate of two pounds week; his pulse
was 12l and his temperature 103.
During the first three days, instead of
losing one pound, he gained half pound.
His pulse is now so and his temperature 9S,
which is slightly below the normal. He
sleeps better and feels greatly improved
generally, and he has lost much Of the
nervousness that was wearing him out.
Patients under the treatment have said
they could taste the sulphur within three
minutes after the gas was administered.
The Doctor placed sheet of paper dipped
in the acetate of lead in front of Mr.. jays
face and the lead turned black from the
breath, which is positive proof that the
gas passed through the lungs.

No More Ere. Advertising.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 20.-A
meeting of the representatives of the lead
ing newspapers of the Missouri Valley and
the Southwest was held here to-day for the
consideration of the Interstate Commerce
law. Letters were on file giving adhesion
to the objects of the convention from nearly
every every daily paper between the Miss
issippi River and the Rocky Mountains.
After discussing the matter, series Of res
olutions were unanimously adopted. The
resolutions recite the paramount impor-
tance of railroads, especially in the devel-
opment of the West, and recognize the es-
tablishment of the new law regulating
them, and then continue as follows:
Reso'ved. That we cheerfully acquiesce in
inteiy to the work OF adapting our busi-
ness to the new situation, ready to dis
credit the abuses and inequalities which
have grown up In past years In dealing
with these roads; that we wish to stand
placed in the same attitude toward the press
Of the country as all other lines OF business
stand related to each other.
Resolced, That to accomplish the foregoing
results, tile opress and the railroads treat
each other as any nationally conducted bus
iness entities, that for freight and passen-
ger transportation, the railroads charge
newspaper men the same as other individu-
manner deal with the railroads as their
business customers, neithcr more nor less.
Hesolvfd. That all business between these
two be upon cash basis or Its equivalent;
that timetables, notices of a business char
acter and any other form OF advertising,
should be charged tor by the publishers, and
no exchange upon the courtesy plan be
continued; that each publisher iix his own

The Reason.

Some scientific men are asserting that
it is the close hats that men wear that
causes badness to be more prevalent in
men than in women, and in this they
are about as near right as they are in
every other matter they attempt to elu-
cldatc. After much investigation and
profound thought we have concluded
thar the true reason lies in the fact that
women wear their hair long and mon
have theirs cut Off The remedy. then,
is plain. Let the hair grow as long as
possible. We have yet to see the first
long-haired man who is bald headed. -

Ha Cried Out

Wheu old Jasper Settles, Of the
White Sulphur. neighborhood, reaches
home and relates his experience. A
certain fashionable church will be
looked upon as a hot house where
vanity is cultivated with paternal care.
Old Jasper believes that it is wrong to
restrain the spirit and that when he
feels religious emotion. he must cry out
or the rocks will cry out for him. It
is not recorded that he ever gave the
rocks chance, but that he is always
ready to save them the trouble and ex-
pense OF an unnatural performance.
During recent visit to Little Rock,
Jasper attended services at a well
known church. The preaching seemed
cold and careless to him, but when the
choir sang an old time hymn, he was
SO emotionally reminded of a log
church and warm hearts, that he arose
and in loud voice uttered the start
ling ejaculation. "whoopr' The con-
gregation turned about and gazed in
astonishment at the old man.
"Whoop-ee!'
Men snorted and women Uttered;
and an officer of the church approached
old Jasper and said:
'Old man. what do you meanP"
"Whoopr'
''You must hush that. You don't
know where you are.''
"Whoop-ee!'
'.See here" shaking him, "if you
don't hush I'll have you put out"
"Havc me put outP''
"Yes, will.'
"What furp''
"For disturbing religious worship"

'Look here. I'm getting tired of fool
ing with you. What do you meanP"
'I'm shoutin'."
but we don't want you to shout

because it disturbs the congrega-
ton"
Don't you want man to be rclig-
ious?"
"Oh, yes"
"All right then. Whoopr'
Come. get out, now"
Don't want me to shout?"

Don't fret about the rocks, they are

"All right then. Whoopr'
"Now you've got to go out" taking
him roughly by the arm.
"Hold on minute. I've got five dol
lars that want to throw in for the good
of the cause"

in? You'll always find welcome here.

The King and the Child.

King Frederick VI. of Denmark,
while travelling through Jutland. one
day entered village school and found
the children lively and intelligent and
quite ready to answer his questions.
.Well, youngsters" he said, "what
are the names of the greatest kings OF
Denmark?'
With one accord they cried out: "Ca-
mute the Great Waldemar, and Chris
tian w."
just then n little girl to whom the
schoolmaster had whispered something
stood up and raised her hand.
"Do you know another?" asked the
king
"Yes-Frederick VI"
What great act did he perform?"
The girl hung her head and stammer-
ell out: II don't know"
"Be comforted, my child" said the
king; II don't know either. Irish
